Using env var for default workspace in eclipse.ini [message #465233]

In my Eclipse 3.2.1 RCP app I'm currently specifying the default workspace using the following entry in my eclipse.ini for the RCP app.

-data H:/myApp

I want to use an environment variable called $HOME instead.

ie.
-data ${HOME}/myApp

I'm on Windows. How do I specify the environment variable? Is this possible?

I tried ${app.home}, ${home}, ${home}, $HOME and nothing worked.

You use %% for vars on windows. So, if there's a var called HOME set (and it's not guaranteed there will be, by the way) then it would be referenced as %HOME%.
